readProcessWithExitCode leaks when the program does not exist
import Control.Monad
import System.Process
import qualified Control.Exception as C
try' :: IO a -> IO (Either C.SomeException a)
try' = C.try
main = replicateM_ 1000 $ do
try' (readProcessWithExitCode "doesnotexist" [] "")
print =<< try' (readProcessWithExitCode "/bin/echo" ["it works"] "")
This eventually runs out of file descriptors and fails to start the existing process.
Tested with process 1.2.0.0 and GHC 7.8.2 on OS X
